I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. We had a good one. It didn’t go exactly as we had originally planned — we had unexpected houseguests at the last minute — but we had a fantastic holiday and really excellent weekend. I especially enjoyed hanging out with old friends who no longer live here but were visiting for a few days. Now it is time to get ready for work and school tomorrow, to put up our Christmas decorations, to get back to normal for a few weeks till the next major Series of Holiday Events. (I genuinely love this time of year.)

In the midst of it all, for those of you in the Houston area this coming weekend, here’s something you might enjoy doing Friday evening. There’s going to be a book launch for the new Mutabilis Press anthology, entitled Improbable Worlds, and one of my poems is going to be in it. (Yay!) The poem is called “Recipe for My Daughter.” I hope you’ll join me at the launch! Here are the details:

MP’s website also has information for purchasing the anthology, in case you’re interested. (I was also published in their 2005 anthology Timeslice, in case anyone wants a copy of that as well. It had a lot of really fantastic Houston poets in it, and I was thrilled and humbled to be counted among them. Improbable Worlds will be featuring poets of Texas and Louisiana, if I’m not mistaken.)

If the book launch for Timeslice is any indication, I and many of the other poets featured in the book will be signing copies the night of the event. (I’m also happy to sign any copies other than that night, if you’d like.) I hope to see you there!

Hey there. That would be cool! Sadly, I don’t actually know. If you land at 8:00, I’m guessing you might miss it. The event goes from 6:00 – 9:00. Bummer. Maybe the best thing is for you to send me a text when you land, and I can try to let you know where we are in the process?? It should be fun if you can be there for any of it.

I rarely leave a response, but I looked at some of the responses here Something Fun To Do This Friday Evening Sappho's Torque. I actually do have 2 questions for you if it’s allright. Is it only me or does it give the impression like a few of the remarks appear like they are written by brain dead folks? 😛 And, if you are posting at additional social sites, I’d like to follow you. Would you list of the complete urls of all your social pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
